Forecasts

Meetingofthewaters (11/8), Itswhatunitesus (3/1), Perceval Legallois (10/3), Neveradullmoment (5/1), Japers Jack (11/1), Steppenwolf (40/1), Catrionas Darling (300/1), Clyde The Glide (400/1)

PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS was last seen landing a competitive handicap hurdle at Leopardstown and he's the type to take to chasing, so he gets the nod ahead of Meetingofthewaters, who is also having a first try over fences having moved to a powerful stable. Itswhatunitesus can't be ruled out despite an underwhelming performance last time.
